Count Your PAR Locations Using a Mobile Device
As a health care provider, improve your efficiency by entering Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) counts using a mobile device in real time, as well as in an offline mode. You can scan the PAR locations using an external barcode device, invoke the camera on your mobile device to scan a PAR location, or enter the PAR location manually by choosing from a list of values. You can trigger replenishment of the items with the two-bin count method or the order PAR replenishment count type by simply scanning the items. You can enter the quantity to order and the counted quantity for items with a replenishment count type of Order Quantity and On-Hand Quantity, respectively. You'll receive a confirmation message when you do an End PAR Count action for a PAR location. You can switch to another PAR location within the same organization if you're done with PAR counts for one PAR location.
The offline mode capability lets you seamlessly perform PAR counts for PAR locations that don't have internet connectivity. You need to stay connected to the Oracle Cloud at the time of choosing the organization before you begin to record your PAR counts in an offline mode. This caches the data for all the PAR locations in the chosen organization allowing you to work offline. You can record your PAR counts the same way as you do in the online mode while you work offline. The recorded PAR counts are synced with Oracle Cloud as soon as your mobile device detects an internet connection.
This feature increases your organization's efficiency by providing the flexibility to perform your PAR counts in real time.
